Persons who are not directors or officers of the Corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of service to the Corporation to the extent the Board of Directors at any time denominates such persons entitled to the benefits of this Section 8.
8.2 The Corporation shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any director or officer or other person entitled to indemnification hereunder the funds necessary for payment of expenses, including attorneys’ fees
3
and disbursements, incurred in connection with any proceeding, in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding,provided,however, that, if required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, such expenses incurred by or on behalf of any director or officer or other person may be paid in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding only upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer (or other person indemnified hereunder), to repay any such amount so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal that such director, officer or other person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.
8.3 The right to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 8 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses may have or hereafter be entitled under any law, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
8.4 The right to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 8 shall continue as to a person who has ceased
4
to be a director or officer (or other person indemnified hereunder) and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
8.5 The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 8, the By-laws of the Corporation or under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other provision of law.
8.6 The provisions of this Section 8 shall be a contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and each director and officer who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 8 is in effect and any other person indemnified hereunder, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Corporation and each such director, officer or other person intend to be legally bound. No repeal or modification of this Section 8 shall affect any rights or
5
obligations then existing or thereafter arising with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or thereafter arising or any proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.
8.7 The right to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 8 shall be enforceable by any person entitled to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses are not appropriate shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is proper in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that such a person is not entitled to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses, shall constitute a defense to the action or create a presumption that such person is not so entitled. Such a person shall also be indemnified for any expenses incurred in connection with
6
successfully establishing his or her right to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding.
8.8 Any director or officer of the Corporation serving (1) another corporation of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of its directors is held by the Corporation, or (2) any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any corporation referred to in clause (1), in any capacity, shall be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Corporation.
8.9 Any person entitled to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Section 8 may elect to have the right to indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the applicable Proceeding, to the extent permitted by law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought. Such election shall be made, by a notice in writing to the Corporation, at the time indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought;provided that if no such notice is given, the right to indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses shall be determined by the law in effect at the
7
time indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought.
9. Adoption, Amendment and/or Repeal of By-Laws. The Board of Directors may from time to time (after adoption by the undersigned of the original by-laws of the Corporation) make, alter or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation; provided, that any by-laws made, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors may be amended or repealed, and any by-laws may be made, by the stockholders of the Corporation.
